China or Plastic?

So last night, Tony and I sat down to firm up our budget for the rest of the wedding. Still lots to do, lots to buy.
At the moment, the current debate comes down to plates, glasses, and silverware. So, i ask you.... does it matter? It will cost us about an additional $600 to rent china, silver, and a bajillion different kinds of glasses. OR, the caterer will provide clear plastic plates and plastic everything else for FREE. Tacky? Maybe. Cheaper? Definitely. Worth $600? This is where I struggle. Will the people that come to the wedding stand off to the side saying "Oh my Gosh- can you believe they spent all this for a wedding and we are eating off of plastic?". I really don't know. I know that I would never go to a wedding and say that. But I don't know about anyone else. I have two or three people that feel it is critical we get the china. A few others that say it doesnt' matter. Thoughts?

I'm so glad you're posting again...I thought you were gone forever! So, I'm all for clear plastic. I think it looks nice, does the trick and is kind to the wallet...HOWEVER, I think our dear friend Kerr may very well have a stroke!
